Diffuse large b cell lymphoma

is the official diagnosis. Its not the best news, but better than the original thought of Burkitt Lymphoma. He'll start chemo early next week. Unrelated, but we were going to have our family pics done in late jan/early feb, but now i'm trying to find a photog to do them in the next 2-3 weeks since dh doesn't want the pics done after he loses his hair. Wish me luck!!

Re: Diffuse large b cell lymphoma

  • T, I'll be sending lots of prayers and good thoughts your way.  My uncle just went through chemo for lymphoma last year and he is in remission and doing well.  I hope dh's experience is just as good!

  • What is the prognosis? Either way, best of luck and speedy recovery!

  • Best of luck for a speedy recover to Mr. T!
  • Good luck and I hope his treatment goes smoothly!

     

    In the past, I've used Vida Carson for my photos. She's very reasonably priced and has worked with me before on short notice. You can tell her that I referred you to her.

  • Positive thoughts for your entire family!  Good luck getting the pictures done.
  • Sending positive thoughts.  I hope all goes well.
  • Best wished for a speedy recovery.  I hate this for you guys and hope that it is over fast and as easily as possible.

    Hopefully LD or Kell will chime in- maybe the girl they use can do the photos more quickly.  Their pics always look great.

  • I'm sorry to hear your DH has lymphoma- but glad it is not as bad as you originally thought. 

    As for photos, have you tried Caitlin Domanico?  She is a friend of mine from childhood, and a lot of Knotties/Nesties have used her too (she used to be a Knottie).  I know she would work with you if her schedule has an opening.  If you don't know of her already, you can find her through my facebook.

  • Oh, I'm so sorry, but please know that I'm sending prayers and wellness your way. I hope treatment goes well and that this is all behind you very quickly. What hospital did you decide to go with?

    I don't have any photo recs, but what about the newer nestie that posted on the page earlier this week looking for models to build her portfolio? That may be an option, too!  Just scroll down. 
  • I'm thinking/praying for your family!!! I'm glad it's not the worst case scenario but it's probably still a LOT to take in right now. Please keep us updated!

  • T, I am thinking of you all, still. I know this will be a challenging time for you and your family.

    We've used Nina Price twice for Z's photos (cake smash, see my FB and also holiday). She is really quick to respond, give her a call. Tell her I sent ya.

  • Thinking of you all.  What a tough time of year to deal with cancer crap.

  • I've been thinking about you and your family T.  While it makes it more real, it's good to have a diagnosis and a treatment plan.  I'm so sorry, and I'll keep you guys in my prayers. 

    I know you have good photographer recommendations already, another to check out your way is Gail Anne Photography.  I love her work. 

  • Good luck and sending positive thoughts for a fast recovery!
  • I'll keep your family in my thoughts!  Best wishes to a speedy recovering for your DH and stay strong!
  • Positive thoughts and prayers to you guys, I dont think either of the photographers I use are doing any more sessions this year unfortunately :(

  • I am so sorry. I can see if my friend Nicole Sackner would be willing to do another session before his treatments. Fb message me if you're interested. Xoxo

  • I'm sure he'll look dashing without hair too. 

    You will heal as a family at least you are now on the path to recovery.  

  • Most photographer's take a break this time of you, BUT if you call/contact and say you only want the pics taken (because of said situation) and you aren't in a hurry to have them edited/to you before the holidays and that you can wait a few weeks someone may have the time to shoot.

    And I'm sorry about the dx. Good luck in his treatment.

  • oh T I'm thinking of you guys. My SIL (who you knew about) had Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. I'm not sure if it's the same or similar. It was a long road for her but she has been cancer free for a little over a year now. I hope and pray for the same outcome for Mr. T-Money as well.  

     

    I know the girls have already said it but we really are here for you if you need us. If you guys decide to go with FCCC, I wouldn't mind driving over to my mom's house in Fox Chase and watching T for you if you wanted to go to the hosp with your husband for treatments. I really wouldn't mind doing that at all.
